Scotty/Steve... How do I get a red cover for my 5100???
Started out Saturday morning climbing my first tree, a 24" DBH sweetgum. I dropped the limbs out of it using my MS180. Once all but the trunk was on the ground I started limbing and bucking them with the 026. This was the first time I have ran more than a tank of gas through it at one time. About halfway through the third tank it lost power. It would start and idle but did not have any power. Finished the rest of the limbs with the 180. My son got out his dolmar 133 to drop and buck the trunk. This was the first time it has done more than a test cut. Same story as my 026, about halfway through the second tank of fuel it lost power. It will start and idle but wont cut. This is the first time I have used Stihl Ultra, could it be fuel related.
This morning we started working in a 1/2 mile long hedge row we were just told we can have. We have about a month before the road construction crew starts dozing and burning them. We started out using the 180 and the jred 2077. We were just about finished with our second pickup load of wood when the clutch cover flew off the 2077. Broke off around the bar nuts. Anyone have a clutch cover for a 2077 they want to get rid of.
I ended up With four truckloads of wood and a happy wife. She's wanted the sweetgum out of the back yard for a couple years. I also ended up with some saws needing repair.
Just out of curiosity, there was a 288 on CL out your way a bit... Probably 2 months or so ago, did you buy it? I think it was $250.
Nope, I musta missed that... Had mine for about 2 yrs. Bought if from my BIL for $350. Been a super good runner. Had a funky problem with it though, but figger'd it out and just opened/polished the intake/exhaust. It's runs VERY VERY strong now. I love that big saw...
Hopefully you didn't toast the P&C's and you just need to clean out the air filters and or spark arrestor screens... Sounds like you overtightened the clutch cover on the 2077.
Here's a 16,000 RPM Dolmar
